GATE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,160, dated April20, 1886.

Application filed November 3. 1884. Serial No. 147,129. (Modem To allwhom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL SLAUSON, of Monticello, in the county ofJones and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful 1111--provementin Gates; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, reference being bad tothe accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to gates which are constructed either to slide orswing; and it consists of novel means for rendering such gates strongwith a small number of operating parts.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention and form a part of thepresent specification.

Figures 1 and 2 are, respectively, rear and front elevations of myimproved gate; and Fig. 3 is a detail view.

V is the front, and NY the rear, gate-post. To the latter is hinged atriangular frame, A B G, the hinges D and S thereof being applied to theupright part B of the frame. In the outer end of the horizontal part 0is pivoted a roller, H, and within the hinge D is pivoted a secondroller, H. The upper rail ofthe gate rests on these rollers, and isadapted to slide thereon. According as it is more convenient, the gatecan be moved along the rollers H H or swung with the frame A B C on thehinges D and S.

One part of the hinge D is shown in detail in Fig. 3. It has a plate, d,adapted to be screwed to the upright B; a perforated flange or lug, dadapted to fit on a pintle, b, in i the gate-post W, and a lug, b, whichserves as a bearing for the pivot of the roller H. The other bearing forthe said pivot is in a lug on the other half D, of the upper hinge. Itwill thus be seen that the parts D D serve both as a hinge for theswinging frame and a support for one of the rollers on which the gateslides.

I am aware that a gate hung upon a triangular frame and capable ofswinging therewith or sliding thereon is not broadly new, and I do nottherefore claim such a construction. I

What I claim is- 1. A gate-hanger comprising plates D D, plate D havingan inwardly-projecting flange, a and both plates having projecting lugsb, and a roller journaled between the lugs-b, substantially as setforth.

2. The combination, with agate and a gatepost provided with pintles, ofa triangular lrame carrying a journaled roller at its forward end, theplates D D, secured to the said frame, plate D having'a flange, aprovided with an opening corresponding to one of the gate-post pintles,the lugs b, projecting from the plates D D, a roller journaled betweenthe said lugs, and the plate S, secured to the lower part of the saidframe and provided with an opening corresponding to another of thegate-post pintles, substantially as set forth.

I DANIEL SLAUSON. Witnesses:
